Social Housing Accelerator Payment

The Australian Government has committed $50 million to deliver up to 100 new social and accessible homes across the Territory.

The Northern Territory Government is fast tracking the construction of the first 8 homes in the Darwin region.

The homes will be constructed on vacant lots in Rapid Creek, Tiwi and Wanguri. A one bedroom home and a two bedroom home will be constructed on each lot.

Homes will be built to adaptable standards, meaning they are accessible and more people with mobility issues and seniors will be able to stay in the same home as they age.

Works commenced in October 2024 and are being undertaken by contractor C&R Constructions. The homes will be progressively completed through March and May 2025.

Planning is underway for more housing in urban areas, which are expected to be awarded in June 2025.
